Hero in Love



The best friend
that came along.
Amazing companion,
who does no wrong

 Amazing love
 between each other,
 strong like the mother.

 What a powerful thing
 this friend does bring.

I cannot say no when it
comes in slow. Such a kind
way  to enter in,  eases and
pleases like the spring wind.

Asleep so deep within the spell,
my best friend wakes me  like
the distinct bell!

It calls me to play again and again
I can't help but say "now"  when it
asks me "when".

I can't say no,  when it comes in
slow, such a kind way  to enter in,  
easing and pleasing  like the
Spring wind.

What will become of the two of us?
I will not withdraw! So pure this lure,
I want more and more!

If I cannot afford this love n'more
what, then, to live for?  I will die
for this love I found  and this love
will lay me down....

So softly in the ground.
